Tooway satellite internet - basic set

Tooway satellite internet: now with new rates & optional download speed!

Tooway™: broadband internet for everybody via the Eutelsat satellite. Thé solution for internet on locations where no fiberglass or ADSL connection is available!

This internet-solution via satellite of Tooway is suitable for both companies as consumers; residents and businesses in outlying areas, mobile data users like SNG cars, fire departments or police, can have a fast internet connection through satellite. With download rates up to 30Mb, Tooway™ offers fast internet by satellite.

This causes that users in outlying regions no longer have to rely on a slow internet connection, expensive wireless internet or 3G /4G technology (which is not available everywhere or not functioning well). Tooway satellite internet is also suitable for (large) public events, festivals or other public meetings, where 10,000 mobile smartphones want an internet connection at the same time.

Tooway™ is designed for housekeepings which have no fast broadband internet connection available. It's also suitable for consumers with a second home in a foreign country where internet availabality is poor or who travel around Europe and need an internet connection to keep in touch.

The Tooway™-solution exists of a satellite antenna which is connected through a modem to the computer. It's the first available two-way broadband satellite internet service, which can compete with ADSL and SDSL based on costs and speed.

Tooway™ offers broadband internet without having to rely on an existing infrastructure. The Tooway™-services are divided into different packages, based on a Fair Access Policy every 4 weeks period. So you can use your volume the way you want to use it.  When the  volume is used, the speed will be lowered. You can then wait for a new period to start or you can buy volume boosters, which speed up your data again immediately.

Next to that Tooway™ can be configured for 'triple-play' applications; this enables housekeepings -without the need of extra equipment- the possibility of digital TV reception or telephony connection.

The Tooway Ka satellite is positioned at 9 degrees East and covers the continent with 80 so called 'spot beams'; this are concentrated signals which cover each an area of a few hundred kilometers. Where traditional satellite signals cover the whole continent -or a large part of it-, the use of spot beams enables the re-use of frequencies efficiently in different regions without noise. This enlarges the capacity. Each beam has a capacity of 900 Mbps, divided over different users.

The standard basic set is based on a ±75 cm antenna; if required, the set can also be based on an antenna with a diameter of 120 cm. For a better signal, when for instance the wheather conditions are less!

The footprint / coverage area of the Tooway KA-SAT is shown on this image:

The advantages of Tooway satellite internet are:

• It's available all over Europe
• It can be used everywhere
• Also mobile use available (for campers, mobile homes)
• High download speed (depending on wheather conditions)
• High upload speed
• Affordable hardware
• Can be combined with satellite TV
• Can be combined with VoiP

• Multiple subscription packages available

Satellite internet also has limitations, like:

• Due to heavy rain fall the speed can lower of disappear temporarily.
• To protect the user at consumer site only the necessary ports are opened for internet and cloud services, apps and telephony. The B2B solution has all ports open.
• Legacy of 1 second plus spoofing which makes the browsing experience look slower (compared to internet via fibeeglass or ADSL); playing real-time games is because of that not possible.
• Because of a foreign IP address some websites or services, like Netflix, will not be available.
• Some e-mail providers will not send emails (i.e. KPN).
• Herlocation is neccessary for use in other countries.

The B2B solution for Tooway satellite internet has a few differences compared to the consumer solution:

• A fixed IP address.
• All ports are open, all protocolls for security camera’s and -recorders with pushing video will work.
• No speed limitations before the total volume is used.
• Suitable for VPN - IP sec in combination with a Pro modem.
• PC or router directly available through internet.
